"The Apartment" (1960)

United Artists

Jack Lemmon stands up to his sleazy boss and refuses to let him use Lemmon's apartment to bed the woman he loves, Shirley MacLaine. Upon hearing this, MacLaine runs to the apartment for a rousing game of gin rummy with her true love, ditching the boss. New Years' tidings? It seems Lemmon's Baxter has finally grown a backbone and MacLaine's Kubelik has finally grown a brain, and they've managed to get together. That, plus some rummy makes for a pretty promising 1961.
